Re: I made that!

Hi thinking about I made that,since I moved into the family home, I have built a wall, put a damp course in the kitchen, painted the kitchen, decorated my bedroom (including wallpaper) and now I am stripping 50 years of paint off the stairs and doors. Does this count??

I cant rember Mart, other than sticking on the roof tiles one at a time took forever, in fact I built my garage quicker

However it was my first attempt and I was not that happy with it, intending to build a bigger and better one with a better layout, conservatory and stone floor kitchen etc.

But it all takes up room, what with all the hand painted fired china dolls etc.

Shame a lot of things I want to do now and cannot. Rebuilt the two dog carts inc wheels (pain) and rebuilt the 6ft Cart Wheel , monster weight and Butter Churns. Now I need rebuilding with little hope.

I think it looks very good. I hope you get rebuilt enough yourself so that you can build what you think is good.

Absolutely counts very envious of anyone who can do the more major stuff I am happy amongst the wools and fabrics but come completely undone with a screw driver or hammer.
